DAVID LUIZ and Willian have been getting over their Brazil snubs by taking a walk on the wild side in Dubai.

Chelsea's South American duo were both left out of the Samba Boys squad for the upcoming friendlies with Saudi Arabia and Argentina by national boss Tite.

However, the Blues pair have been making the most of their break while enjoying some downtime in a luxurious United Arab Emirates hotspot.

And they appear to be having a roaring time feeding a white tiger and baby bear.

Defender Luiz, 31, share a photo of himself feeding a young cub on Instagram, captioning it with: "My boy is getting bigger and bigger!! #lovelymoments thank you my friend @abdullasb10."

The ex-Paris Saint-Germain star later uploaded a snap of him with the tiger along with a caption saying "soul moments".

Willian, joined by one of his twin daughters, also got in on the act.

He posted three pictures of himself sitting on a rock feeding the bear along with his own youngster.

Luiz, who was accompanied on his trip by partner Sara Madeira, and Willian met up with their footballing friend Abdulla Saif Belhasa, who plays for Al Wasl in the UAE league, out in Dubai.

And they capped off their day with some fine dining at the Nusr-Et steakhouse, a Turkish restaurant chain owned by Salt Bae.

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri will no doubt be hoping the break works wonders for two of his key men ahead of the return to domestic action.

The Blues are currently joint-top of the Premier League after eight matches alongside Manchester City and Liverpool.

They face a huge showdown first up after the international window when Manchester United head to Stamford Bridge on October 20.
